He’s A Good Rat. In the first album Rad proved that you don’t have to be really big to be really good at things, but in this song we learn that it wasn’t always easy going for the little guy. See, just like so many kids, Rad was a victim of bullying when he was younger. This song however shows us that these nasty things can be overcome, and once the bullying is stopped by new friendships being established, then the good people of the world can be a lot happier. Then when the bullies realize that they don’t have anyone to bully anymore then hopefully they become better people too!
lyrics
VERSE 1
There's a little dude, he's fury and small
and when he use to get picked on,
he'd curl up into a ball
All the nasty kids thought it was a game
they'd bully him all the time,
because he wasn't the same as them
PRE-CHORUS
But now he's so happy, he's over the moon
'cause somebody wrote him this little tune
CHORUS
He's a rat, he's a rat, he's a rat rat rat
But he's a good rat, he's Radical Rat
Yeah he's a rat, he's a rat, he's a rat rat rat
But he's a good rat, he's Radical Rat
VERSE 2
Then came a special day,
as he was dancing around
another dude called Willy Wombat
popped up out of the ground and said
'Hey I like the way you groove',
I think it's really great
Rad said 'Aw thanks' 'n' Willy said
'Aw no worries, hey, can I be your mate?'
And just a little moment later,
a cocky came flying along
and then the animals from
The Magical Mountains
started dancing to his song
Dancing to his song,
yeah they were dancing to his song
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE 4
So if you ever see Rad, on his rollerblades
or walking down the street somewhere,
wearing his cool shades
Or out on his skateboard, going for a cruise
just remember this my friends,
that bullies always lose
PRE-CHORUS
'cause now he's in the park
with his new found friends
with Radical Rat the fun never ends
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
